ADC Differential Hydraulic Circuit Fluid
Change
1. Make sure vehicle is parked on flat ground and allowed to
sit at least 30 minutes prior to bleeding hydraulic circuit.
2. Thoroughly clean area around and on remote reservoir and
bleeder valves.
3. Remove reservoir cap and diaphragm assembly.
4. Make sure hydraulic oil inside reservoir is free of debris.
If any debris is found, use clean rag or suction device to
remove from the reservoir.
NOTE: Debris in reservoir may block porting and
produce inadequate bleeding
Decreased performance may be encountered with
inadequate bleed of the hydraulic circuit.
5. Begin the bleeding process by filling reservoir to 'MAX'
line with clean Polaris ADC hydraulic fluid.
6. Locate bleeder valves found on either side of differential
and remove the protective caps.
7. Turn bleeder valves counter-clockwise to loosen. Loosen
bleeder screw slowly, allowing oil and any trapped air to
flow out of fitting.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow hydraulic fluid in reservoir
to drain below minimum fill line. Close bleeder valve
before oil level falls below minimum fill line. Refilling
empty reservoir will result in air pockets becoming
trapped.
NOTE: If empty reservoir is encountered, filling of
fluid is still possible. Verify air is not trapped before
proceeding with step 7.
8. Continue steps 6-8 on both sides in sequence until clean
fluid is seen when bleeding occurs.
9. Re-torque both bleeder valves to specification and reinstall
cover caps.
Bleeder Valve Torque:
80 in. lbs. (9 Nm)
10. Fill reservoir with to a level midway between 'MAX' and
'MIN' fill lines. Verify no debris is found in reservoir oil.
11. Replace reservoir cap securely and wipe clean any residue.

VEHICLE INSPECTION

Shift Link Rod Inspection

NOTE: Shift rod is preset at time of manufacturer.
1. Inspect shift link tie rod ends and replace if worn or
damaged. Lubricate pivot points with a light aerosol
lubricant or grease if desired.
